Quotes 

• Claire Timkin : Good news, Jonathan. We've not only decided to keep you on, but I'm promoting you to visual merchandiser.

  Jonathan Switcher : [surprised]  You're kidding! That's great! What is it?

  Claire Timkin : Just keep doing what you did last night and you'll be fine.

  Jonathan Switcher : Mrs. Timkin, I'm not sure I can do it again. Last night might have been a one-time inspiration.

  Claire Timkin : [encouraging]  Oh Jonathan, don't doubt yourself. Go with it. Feel it. You're doing the job you were meant to do.

  Mr. Richards : Well, you must lead a charmed life. It was all I could do to save your skin in there. No thanks are necessary, Switcher!

• Claire Timkin : I don't know how we're going to make this store great again.

  Jonathan Switcher : Looks fine to me. What time do we open?

  Claire Timkin : [sighs sadly]  We are open.

  Jonathan Switcher : Oh... Well, I'm sure things will pick up by lunch.

• [Mr. Richards and Felix have been arrested for their greedy actions] 

  Jonathan Switcher : Mrs. Timkin, those video cameras. Did they pick up everything last night?

  Claire Timkin : [smiles coyly]  I only saw what I needed to see.

  Roxie Shield : [to Emmy]  Just where do you come from?

  Jonathan Switcher : Roxie, you would never understand.

  [Jonathan and Emmy leave the store room before Roxie] 

  Hollywood Montrose : [snaps his fingers to B.J. in a justified manner]  Mm-hmm.

• Claire Timkin : Mr. Richards, this store has never been more successful, and it's all due to Jonathan Switcher. I don't care if he puts a rubber glove on his head and runs naked around the store screaming: 'Hi! I'm a squid!'
